Chapter 155 Raising a Silver Account (Asking for Subscriptions and Monthly Passes)

The next day of the night talk was the fifth day of the first lunar month, and it was also the last day of the printing workshop's holiday, and many people had already taken the initiative to help the workshop to prepare for the resumption of printing color comic books the next day.

The day is also the day of the Chamber of Commerce meeting, this is the first time to formally talk about things in the new year, whether the members of the Chamber of Commerce are veterans or new members, or have just accepted the application and have not attended the meeting, as long as they can arrive will gather at the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the development of the Chamber of Commerce in the new year.

Last night, Shen Xi listed the details of the development of the Chamber of Commerce, together with the preparations for the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, and handed them over to Hui Niang. Hui Niang has no concept of the silver number, she listens to Shen Xi, she is only responsible for Zhang Luo, but she has a lot of opinions about the development of the Chamber of Commerce.

Shen Xi found that Hui Niang became more and more like the president of the Chamber of Commerce, both in terms of temperament and work ability.

In the early hours of the morning, the rain and snow stopped, and the sun rose over the horizon early in the morning, and the temperature rose rapidly. After staying in the pharmacy for a few days, Zhou felt that it was inconvenient to disturb him anymore, so he took Shen Xi home, and after breakfast, Zhou asked him to go to bed to recuperate, and was not allowed to go out, no matter what happened, he asked Lin Dai to help, and Zhou went to the printing workshop to help Shen Mingjun clean up.

Lu Xi'er couldn't stay idle, so she slipped into the courtyard of the Shen family in the back alley while the maid at home was not paying attention, pestering Shen Xi to tell stories. In order to keep the two little loli from tossing him, Shen Xi carved a dice out of wood, and drew a checkers grid similar to Monopoly and a flying chess game on white paper, and let the two little loli throw the dice to play by themselves.

The two little loli had never touched such an interesting thing, and they had a lot of fun all morning, so as not to interfere with Shen Xi writing and drawing on the desk in the room.

Shen Xi was happy not to be entangled, but it was difficult for the ears to calm down, and the two little Loli spent the morning in the endless noise of "I took two steps back" and "finally threw it to six".

At noon, Ning'er came over and asked Lu Xi'er to go back to dinner, saying that Hui Niang was back. Shen Xi was worried about the silver trumpet, and got up to go with him.

Lin Dai pursed her lips and said, "My mother doesn't allow you to go out, saying that I will watch you." ”

"My aunt, my mother won't come back at noon today. What do we eat if we don't go to Aunt Sun's? Shen Xi shrugged his shoulders and asked dissatisfiedly.

Lin Dai thought for a while and replied, "Then I'll bring it back to you." ”

Shen Xi said: "The food you brought over is cold, I eat cold rice and cold dishes, and my condition will be aggravated." At that time, the mother will put the responsibility on you, the future daughter-in-law...... Weigh it up for yourself. ”

Lin Dai was stunned, she couldn't afford such a big crime, and finally at Shen Xi's insistence, Lin Dai had no choice but to wrap all the clothes she could find from the box in Shen Xi. Even his head was covered with a thick cloth, and then he nodded with satisfaction: "This should be no problem, right?" ”

Shen Xi looked at the bronze mirror and looked at himself wrapped like an Arab woman, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, it was really a sinful thing to have such a "dutiful" daughter-in-law.

But in the end, he had to get the permission of the little housekeeper to go out, Shen Xi endured it, and when he arrived at the pharmacy, he quickly untied the clothes and cloth wrapped around his body. Lin Dai hurriedly called: "What are you doing?" I finally put it on, and I have to go back after eating. ”

At this time, Hui Niang walked in with a steaming soup pot and heard Lin Dai's words. There was a smile in his eyes: "It's okay, you guys will stay here in the afternoon." If Xiaolang wants to do his homework, Dai'er, you can help him get it. ”

Lin Dai was so angry that she stomped her feet: "Aunt Sun, he didn't do his homework, and he didn't know what he was doing all morning." ”

Hui Niang smiled and comforted her, called the three little guys to the dining table, and a table full of people sat down to eat, only less Zhou than usual.

After eating, Hui Niang called Shen Xi upstairs and just entered the room. Hui Niang roughly told what happened in the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce in the morning, and Shen Xi knew what happened.

On this morning, the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce was to receive foreign merchants, and these businessmen came from afar to discuss business with the merchants. didn't even go home for the Spring Festival, which shows how much they attach importance to it. The goods trafficked by these merchants are different, and although Hui Niang can receive them, the specific details have to be discussed by the shopkeepers from all walks of life.

Near noon, Hui Niang took advantage of the moment to send off the merchants and gathered people together. I talked about some of the things that were established before, such as changing the admission fee system to a quarterly fee system, and then the development plan of the Chamber of Commerce for the next year.

Regarding these, the members of the Chamber of Commerce have no opinions, but in the end, they proposed to rely on the Chamber of Commerce and establish a silver number.

The Chamber of Commerce was originally a loose organization, and even if members had to pay annual dues, after all, the Chamber of Commerce was not a shop and would not operate a specific business, but only appeared as an intermediary between shops and merchants, or as a platform for mediating internal disputes.

But after the establishment of the silver number, the chamber of commerce has its own industry, changed the original model of the chamber of commerce, which is what many people are worried about, they are afraid that if the "silver number" has any risks and losses, the chamber of commerce will return to the deficit to the head of the shops.

"Xiaolang, it seems that it is not easy to establish a silver number based on the Chamber of Commerce." Finally, Hui Niang sighed.

Shen Xi knew very well in his heart that businessmen were very cautious in doing business these days, and they tried not to touch the profitable business if they were not sure that they could do it, let alone the emerging industry such as the silver number, which they had never heard of.

Shen Xi smiled and comforted: "Aunt, although you can rest assured, as long as you explain the matter of shares and shareholders, let them know that although the silver number is listed in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, except for the shareholders, others will not have any entanglement of interests with the Chamber of Commerce." When they understand the earning power of the silver account in the future, and then see other people's large dividends, they will not be able to join at that time. ”

Hui Niang was encouraged by Shen Xi's words, nodded and said, "Then I'll go over in the afternoon and find some people to tell them the details of the silver horn." ”

When Hui Niang hurriedly left the pharmacy and went to the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce, Shen Xi felt that Hui Niang did not lack the ability to do things, but lacked the affirmation and encouragement of others. Women always hope that they will be supported, their relatives, or lovers, which is the motivation for them to do things outside, but Hui Niang receives a lot of cold eyes outside, which makes her occasionally wonder if she can succeed in doing things.

Shen Xi found that she was more and more like playing the role of Hui Niang's husband, giving her advice, and at the same time giving her spiritual encouragement to make her more confident in doing things.

When she came back in the afternoon, Hui Niang had dozens of contracts in her hand.

At the same time, Hui Niang also stated that no matter whether the people in the Chamber of Commerce are willing to deposit money in the Silver Horn in the future, the Chamber of Commerce will not interfere, although the Silver Horn relies on the Chamber of Commerce, but only as a vassal of the Chamber of Commerce, and does not affect the business of the original shops.

After Hui Niang made her words clear, there was no shortage of far-sighted people in the Chamber of Commerce, and they felt that this "silver number" business was promising.

This is clearly to standardize the behavior of private usury, and how profitable private lending is, how can you not know as a businessman? After the establishment of the silver account, it is possible to use other people's money to lend, and the difference in interest earned from it alone is an incomparably large wealth, which is more profitable than any industrial transaction.

After several discussions, several elders of the Chamber of Commerce and the owners of more than a dozen time-honored brands expressed their willingness to invest in the silver number, but in order to prevent large losses, they only contributed a few dozen taels of silver to hundreds of taels of silver at a time, so that even if there was a loss, it would not affect their original business.

Later, some ordinary members of the chamber of commerce also joined the shares, and the less ones entered one share, as a meaning, and the more one entered three or four shares, which also did not hurt the muscles and bones of their own stores, and they could also follow behind to get a piece of the pie.

In the end, the remaining sporadic shares were not spread, and Hui Niang simply collected it herself, so that there were a total of 300 shares, and Hui Niang accounted for 168 shares.

The families agreed that the silver would be sent to the merchant house the next day, and Hui Niang would be fully responsible for the preparation of the silver number. At the same time as the shops in the city open on the sixteenth day of the first month, the silver horn will also be officially announced.

"Auntie, will it be too urgent to prepare in ten days?" Shen Xi put forward a different view.

Now it is not a workshop or a store along the street to open, but a silver account with the characteristics of a bank, just reporting to the government, plus renting a store and hiring a hospital bodyguard, it will take a lot of time.

The silver number is not an ordinary shop, there is a lot of money inside, not only the wall must be reinforced, but the surrounding area must also be strengthened, it is best to ask the government officials or people from the inspection department to patrol the surroundings, once the theft occurs, the first time to respond.

Hui Niang's attitude was very resolute: "If you want to do it, you have to be faster, lest others think that I am talking nonsense." ”

Hui Niang acted resolutely, this was something Shen Xi had known for a long time, and when she insisted that Shen Xi could only nod: "I naturally support my aunt's decision." In the selection of the silver number and the hiring of people, I will try to help my aunt as much as possible. ”

When Hui Niang heard Shen Xi's words, a relieved smile appeared on her face.

By the next day, Hui Niang went to the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce to collect the silver, and at the same time distributed the equity book, and the preparatory work for the silver number officially began.

Because the Chamber of Commerce is now very large, and the relationship with the government is good, there will not be much problem for the silver number to report to the government. Anyway, it is a gray industry, there was no industry standard before, and even if there is, it is formulated by an industry pioneer like Hui Niang, and the government only needs to collect money.

The door of the government is walking, and Hui Niang has begun to talk about renting a venue.

Hui Niang felt that since the silver number and the chamber of commerce are inextricably linked, then simply let the silver number shop and the chamber of commerce as close as possible, she decided to simply choose to rent shops around the chamber of commerce, anyway, it is not a busy city, and the silver horn as a special industry, the wine is not afraid of deep alleys, do not have to open in a particularly lively place, then it will make the chamber of commerce around the people crowded, after the accident is not easy to deal with.
